Tattoo artist Ben Volt at work. “I find inspiration everywhere,” says Ben. “Patterns, archetypes, and symbols. Anything from indigenous tribal tattoos and cultures around the world. Art deco, Modernism, Bauhaus, Dada, the Avant-Garde, etc. Vintage band t-shirts and treasures from dusty thrift stores. Midcentury design aesthetics. Op-Art. Classic one color crust punk graphics. Retro futuristic movies. Anything that is bold and powerful and evokes some sort of movement or emotion. Vibe.”
